This BC thingies in PHP5 sound always weird or silly to me (in most

have to take care of php4?
One of the reasons that you don't see PHP 3 in use anymore is that
the transition was so easy. Now that we have even more installations
out there and a lot of open projects that run on PHP 4 it is even
more important to be as BC as possible. We can break BC for a reason,
but if we change existing APIs (like OCI or GD) just for CS conformance
we are pushing users with existing code bases to stick with PHP 4
forever ...
